I can relate to the head hunger issue... it's raining it's blah ... i'm blah and have no motivation. My house is a disaster but I'd rather be outside... today I did a lot of snacky type stuff... all with in reason, but i probably wasn't really in need of eating. Hope the rain goes away soon!

OH on a more positive note, I have fresh zucchini from my garden and i LOVE making zucchini noodles to eat with my Protein. so YUMMMMMY! Last night I had teriyaki chicken with it. DELISH!

Anyone have any "tricks" for dealing with head hunger. i find when i cannot get out of the house and am waiting on something ( like being on call 24-7 for the past week) i struggle with it. i can say my choices are healthy but still found myself wanting to eat for no good reason. any help would be awesome.

I have that. But it may not be just head hunger . I make a Protein Shake and maybe a cheese stick lite. Still I'm under my calories goal of 1400 . It seems to do the trick. Now it routine for me to make a Protein shake at night. I enjoy it and it keeps my metabolism going.

RJ- I don't have any tricks to fight the head hunger. I deal with it as well. I'm still trying to lose, but once again I play with 4 pounds up and down. Grrr!

I am rooting for you!

Good morning all, I just read through your post, good to see everyone doing great. Well although this surgery bought me great success for my health and appearance, it also bought me a divorce. I never thought this would happen to me, although I read the negative side. Well my life has changed and changed dramatically, I haven't worked since December 2013 as my husband agreed I can go to cosmetology school to obtain my life long dream of becoming a stylist, in the middle of school, he decided not to support me anymore, because I wouldn't allow him to bully and control me, I guess I gained a lil confidence, don't get me wrong, the only thing that has changed about me is my weight, my husband became jealous of the attention I was receiving, it was unbelievable, so now here we are, getting a divorce, me quitting school, he left me in debt up to my ears, and now I'm relocating from Chicago to Houston, but hey, I'm a fighter, I've come to far to break down or become weak. I thank God for strength...

I'm sorry you're going through so many trials. It sounds like you're dealing with everything with a positive attitude, and I hope everything works out well for you.

Sorry for the Detour in your journey. Especially that you have to quit school. I hope you are able to get back to school and complete your dream!

I use to live in Houston, I'm really missing the heat right now! Here's to a new adventure in your life!

My Husband's 90 year old Grandmother's favorite saying was "Its a Great Life if you don't weaken". You will get through this too - and come out the other side healthier and stronger for it. I too hope you will be able to find your way back to school. It is so important that we fight for our dreams! I'm pulling for you!!

pancreatitis: noun

definition: a condition were the patient is heard to say over and over "this f#$$ing really hurts/ sucks.

Sorry for the implied cursing but i have spent a fun 72 hours in my local hospital because of that noun. im lucky the doctors found nothing after lots of poking and prodding including a catscan and mri. in the end it comes down to massive weight loss has the real possibilities of this noun and gall stones.

I highly encourage you to get your thin backside to the ER/ hospital if you have belly pain, sweats, neasua.

Im ok now but for a number of hours on sunday were far from pleasent. i know alot of us in here qualify as "massive weight loss" and since i can attest to the severity of the pain thought it prudent to put this condition out there.

Have a great evening
